The number of Freemasons who understand what this expression means are probably very few. Since the matter is simple, I can indeed give you an explanation of the term. At the time of which I am speaking, to be a Freemason meant to stand in vehement opposition to everything that commanded outward, official power. Therefore it was necessary to conduct the affairs of the Freemasons, with exceptionally great caution. Precisely for this reason, it was at that time necessary for Freemasonry to appear under various names which sounded harmless. Among other names they called each other ‘Brethren of the Craft’ and so on. Today Freemasonry has accomplished a large part of what it then set out to do. Today it is itself officially a power in the world.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"20.

Wenn die Loge eröffnet wird, der Meister seinen Platz eingenommen hat und der Türaufseher an der Türe steht, dann ist die erste Frage des Meisters: Bruder Aufseher, ist die Loge gedeckt? — Der Maurer, die diesen Ausdruck: «Ist die Loge gedeckt?» — verstehen, sind wahrscheinlich sehr wenige. Da aber die Sache einfach ist, so kann ich Ihnen die Erklärung dieses Ausdrucks schon geben. Damals, in der Zeit, von der ich spreche, hieß Freimaurer sein soviel wie in heftigster Opposition zu stehen gegen alles, was die äußere, offizielle Macht hat. Daher war es notwendig, daß das Wirken des Freimaurerordens mit außerordentlich großer Vorsicht gepflegt wurde. Gerade aus diesem Grunde war es damals notwendig, daß die Freimaurerei unter verschiedenen Namen auftrat, die harmlos erschienen. Man nannte sich unter anderem auch Johannesbrüder und so weiter. Heute ist ein großer Teil dessen verwirklicht, was dazumal die Freimaurerei angestrebt hat. Heute ist sie selbst offiziell eine Macht in der Welt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":162,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/93/1906-01-02/p028"}],"english":["GA 93/1906-01-02/p028"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":162,"en_words":171,"ratio":1.06,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.23,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":13461,"original_word_count":10911,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"John M.
